Roger,

I've seen bogus TIFF files like these before. I believe they will require two changes to read them:

1. Disable STRIPCHOP support (#define STRIPCHOP_DEFAULT 0 in tiffconf.h, or open using mode "rc").

2. Modify tif_dumpmode.c as follows to calculate the correct length of the strip:

         (void) s;
         if (tif->tif_rawcc < cc) {

!                               tif->tif_row);

         }

Note: This diff also makes "not enough data for scanline" a warning rather than an error.

I was able to load your sample in my program (ThumbsPlus), which incorporates these changes.

Kind regards,
